    how about paying $85 to sit two hours to drive 10 miles?

    one would figure for $85, you could sit back and be chaperoned with a good meal

    I just can't stand paying a toll to drive 45mph through construction... they should stop collecting if it's not giving me an advantage to go the long way...

    Don't worry, he was in the passing lane and would have driven faster if the slower vehicles would have stayed to the right.

    Haven't you ever heard of paid parking?

    I never understood that 294and 80 thing, either, but it's been that way for a long time. I sometimes run 159th Street, US 6, if the whim strikes me, but about 1 time in 25 or so, a train will be blocking the grade crossing in Harvey or South Holland, I'm not sure which it is. I've also sat that long on 294 when the road was shut down without warning. You have to pay to go eastbound off Halsted, too.
